WG#8 Business and Enterprise Modelling

Topic Investment in ICT support systems has become a key, enabling strategy of many manufacturers in their migration towards lean manufacturing into well-integrated value chains. Highly successful as this has already been, the emphasis has so far tended to be on supporting localized functionalities (e.g. scheduling, planning, customer support systems, human resources) rather than addressing the overall issue of creating lean, effective business processes which may be brought together into a total system for overall optimization.
Goals

The SIM-SERV partners will review the state-of-art surrounding modeling, simulation and optimization of total businesses, or enterprises with a view to creating a perspective on future simulation developments needed. This challenge will be met by forming an expert working group to discuss the issues involved and to move towards a written position statement.
